Discussion Why The So called Spirit filled churches perpetuate the LIE of the LAW of the TITHE

I agree that the NT church isn't under the obligation to tithe.
I personally find the language used above too strong to condemn those who do teach tithing. Tho I can certainly understand a view that they aren't living by faith and are under the law.
I also think we have to be careful about taking some of the specifics about how the Jerusalem church sold property and gave the money to the poor as an example that is almost a command for us today. After all they had the words of Jesus that the temple would be destroyed and if so surely all property in Jerusalem ... and therefore become worthless. So much better to sell before the value of property went almost to zero. We aren't told that this happened in the other churches mentioned in the NT. Even so it appears they sold too soon and became poor as Paul is collecting money from the Gentile churches to help the poor Chrisitans in Jerusalem.

Hebrews 7:7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. 8 Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

Notice the writer speaks in the present tenses.

Instead of asking tithes for the pastor himself why are pastors asking tithes for God?

God doesn't need our money!
